Just had a look at the Cheaneys, they look comfy, well made and look like they'll last: Isn't that everything women don't

a kid from my primary school had those in the 80s. The closest one is built-up a bit right?
Ha ha, you got it! Its a pair of these but I didn't get chance to take a proper pic as they were delivered just as I was leaving for work.

Morning all,
I want to surprise my better half with a really nice pair of leather boots. Now, the usual suspects (Loake, Barker, Cheaney) have smaller ranges for ladies.

This is what I know she'd ideally like - although they're a touch too expensive at the moment. Anywhere else I should be looking? Budget is in the £200 max range.
Cheers

Those are very nice boots. (They don't go with what the model is wearing though.)
Do they have an outlet for end of lines etc? Perhaps the PH shoe thread members could advise?

What's wrong with you?
They're like old school hiking boots. But with a funky saw tooth sole. Perhaps he could pierce loads of little holes and stick some Harris tweed on and say they're barkers?
I was just thinking that I don't particularly like the boots but they are much, much better than the abominations that are the leather & fabric barkers. They're like old school hiking boots.

Women want the kind of shoes that are fashionable and fall apart after a year. All the stuff you lot scoff at.

They truly are horrific. There have been some horrors posted in this discussion, but I think you're the winner of the most 'special' shoes by a fair margin.
I am hurt.I thought I had already obtained that honour.
You are a fickle man Trabi
Just a little reminder

Disapproval from Trabi is something I would always strive for.

Well, I think I might be better placed to know - any constructive input? Women want the kind of shoes that are fashionable and fall apart after a year. All the stuff you lot scoff at.

Some of us do like quality and style over fashion. The boots I posted above are from a place which I have had several pairs over the last 15 years. All of which I still wear.
But hey, this is PH, so sweeping generalisations matter eh?

Good idea, thanks. I know few of the Northampton shoe makers have factory shops, shame we rarely pass that way. Maybe worth a phone call. idiotgap said:

Are you wanting a daily wear boot or a fancy pair (IYSWIM)?
I'll file Walsh in the same category as Belstaff.
Once great brand which used to produce value for money and high performing products, now being used to market 'retro' tat to the gullible.
Expanded PU sole in a trainer with a list price of £165?! You'd get exactly the same performance from a pair of £20 Hi-Tecs.

My big problem with almost the entire range is the expanded PU sole they use. Almost everyone has moved on from that as it goes flat in not time at all - and at that kind of money, I'd be wanting something other than the cheapest sole material available.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
